Frequently
Asked Question
What
is the difference between you and a "wedding coordinator
or wedding planner"?
I GIVE you the information that
they charge you for. I put you directly in touch with people
who will be so important on your wedding day (photographer, videographer,
florist, musician, caterer, etc, etc.) so their fees are not inflated,
as they are if booked by a wedding planner.
How much is
your package?
Four hundred dollars.
What does it include?
Everything
you need to be legally married, in a personalized way, in a gorgeous location.
(Officiant, location, witnesses, and certified copy of certifcate of marriage).
It also includes
unlimited consultations with Anne Marie and names, phone numbers, web
sites of any needed vendors. (Photographer, videographer, florist, musicians
etc.)
Does
the $400 include the marriage license?
No you pay that $100 to the court.It
does include the application which can be downloaded from this site.
When should
we pay you?
Mail
a check today so that on your wedding day, we can focus on the service
and celebration. A personal check is fine.
Is it legal?
Yes.
This is America, and your marriage is recognized worldwide. After your
wedding, Anne Marie will file your paperwork with the Superior Court and
mail you a certified copy of your certificate of marriage.
Are their location
fees?
No I
have already paid the site fees for you to be married on any national
park beach or sugar mill ruins. If you want Anne Marie to come to your
villa or sail boat for your wedding, there is no additional fee.
How long do
we have to be there before we can get married?
You
can pick up your marriage license the day you arrive. The marriage license
office is on the same highway as the airport, on St. Thomas. Remember
to mail your marriage license application so the court has it for 8 days
before you arrive.
When is the
court open so we can pick up our marriage license?
The
court is open Mon. - Fri. 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Sat. 10:00 a.m. - 12:00
o'clock noon If you want to pick up your marriage license on a day the
court is closed (Sundays and Holidays), you may do so between 10:00 and
11:00 a.m. There is an additional charge of $150. Please speak with Anne
Marie about how to avoid this.
How do
we apply for marriage license?

On the marriage
license application where it says "Parents Name" what should
we do?
Put
your fathers name first and your mothers name below it. Do "Place
of Birth" the same way.
Are
you related by blood to each other?
I hope your answer is no. And
where it says "In what degree?" write not applicable.
What
does "certified copy of divorce decree" mean?
It means stamped with the raised
seal of the Court that issued your divorce. Phone the court where your
divorce was issued, and ask them to send you a certified copy (stamped
with the raised seal) of your divorce decree. This is not notarized, it
is certified.

the marriage license application?
Yes

and Certificate of Marriage?
Yes, type in and mail both
forms.
What
is 8 day posting requirement?
The marriage license office
wants your marriage license application & all required paperwork at
least 8 days before you pick up the license.
When should
we mail our marriage license application to the Superior Court?

for eight days prior to issuing you the license but lets be on the safe
side.

the two of us. Will you provide witnesses?
Yes
